2. How Exactly Does BINARY CODE Work?

3. Your Task In this activity, you will act as digital-analog converters to decode binary pulses into colored pixels. You’ll use binary coding to represent pathways through a series of “high” and “low” choices, which represent the path to take on a logic map:

4. Let’s Practice Binary sequence: 010 Identify the color:

5. Let’s Practice Binary sequence: 010 Identify the color: GREEN

6. Your Turn: Binary sequence: 111 Identify the color:

7. Your Turn: Binary sequence: 111 Identify the color: Up, up, up BLACK

8. Let’s try a longer sequence Binary sequence: 101011110 Identify the colors:

9. Let’s try a longer sequence Binary sequence: 101011110 Identify the colors: RedYellow Pink

10. Now let’s convert given a digital wave Binary sequence: *Note: only the horizontal lines represent the values 1 or 0. The vertical lines show the movement between the horizontal lines. Identify the color:

11. Now let’s convert given a digital wave Binary sequence: Identify the color: 110 Up, Up, Down PINK

12. Your Turn Binary sequence: Identify the color:

13. Your Turn Binary sequence: Identify the color: 101 Up, Down, Up RED

14. Let’s try a longer sequence Binary sequence: Identify the colors:

15. Let’s try a longer sequence Binary sequence: Identify the colors: 111011101 Black YellowRed

16. Our Task As a class, we will decode a series of binary sequences to create a Post-It mosaic. Each student is responsible for decoding a section of the grid.

17. Example (not your mosaic) You will get your own sequence graph: Use the logic map--> to decode your color

18. Student Set-Up Make sure your binary sequence and grid table match. Student 1 Sequence Graph & Student 1 Grid Table

19. Check your work with your teacher before adding your Post-Its to the mosaic.
